The UFC has officially announced a lightweight bout between Paddy Pimblett and Benoit Saint Denis for UFC 329 on July 11. According to Ariel Helwani, the promotion is also planning to book Max Holloway versus Conor McGregor for UFC 329 and Islam Makhachev versus Ian Garry for UFC 330, though these remain unconfirmed. Guram Azizyan, trainer of Sergei Pavlovich, expressed interest in a rematch with Alexander Volkov, claiming Volkov only ran during their previous fight and that Pavlovich needs a tactical adjustment for victory. Anatoly Malykhin addressed UFC offers, stating he won't leave ONE Championship out of loyalty unless the promotion's leadership tells him he's no longer needed. Alex Pereira and Max Holloway will appear on UFC 6 video game covers, with Pereira on the base version and Holloway on the deluxe edition.
